The SIMPLE SWITCHER family is designed for minimal external components: one inductor (68uH), one Schottky diode (5A\/40V like 1N5824), input capacitor (680uF electrolytic), and output capacitor (220uF electrolytic). The internal architecture uses current-mode control: an error amplifier compares the FB voltage with the 1.23V internal reference (through an internal resistor divider for the fixed-voltage version); the error amplifier output controls the peak inductor current; the 150kHz oscillator sets the maximum duty cycle (approximately 90%). The switch is a 3A NPN Darlington with 1.5V saturation voltage at 3A (higher than MOSFET-based converters, reducing efficiency). The typical efficiency is 80% at 12V input and 3A load. The switch current limit is 4.5A (peak) for startup inrush and transient loads. The ON\/OFF pin provides logic-level shutdown: pulling HIGH (above 1.3V) turns off the switch and reduces supply current to 50uA. The device has thermal shutdown at 165C and overcurrent protection with hiccup mode. The TO-263 package provides 2C\/W junction-to-tab thermal resistance, allowing 3W dissipation on a 2oz copper pour. The -SX-3.3 suffix specifies TO-263, 3.3V fixed output. The LM2596 is one of the most popular buck regulators in the industry, used in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.","pin_description":"<table><tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Type<\/th><th>Function<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>VIN<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Input supply (4.5-40V, connect with 680uF electrolytic and 0.1uF ceramic)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>OUTPUT<\/td><td>Output<\/td><td>Switch output (connects to inductor, 3A peak, 150kHz switching)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>GND<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Ground (connect tab to ground plane for heatsinking)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>FB<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Feedback (connect directly to output for 3.3V fixed, or resistor divider for adj)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>ON\/OFF<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Shutdown control (LOW=on, HIGH=shutdown, 50uA Iq, internal pull-down)<\/td><\/tr><\/table>","application_scenarios":"<li>Industrial control<\/li><li>Consumer electronics<\/li><li>Communication equipment<\/li><li>Automotive electronics<\/li>","alternative_models":"<table><tr><th>Manufacturer<\/th><th>Part Number<\/th><th>Package<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Texas Instruments<\/td><td>LM2596SX-3.3<\/td><td>TO-263<\/td><td>Same device, TI brand<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Texas Instruments<\/td><td>LM2596SX-5.0<\/td><td>TO-263<\/td><td>5V fixed version<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Texas Instruments<\/td><td>LM2596SX-ADJ<\/td><td>TO-263<\/td><td>Adjustable version (1.23-37V)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>onsemi<\/td><td>NCV2596SV-3.3G<\/td><td>TO-263<\/td><td>Automotive version, AEC-Q100, onsemi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monolithic Power<\/td><td>MP1584EN-LF-Z<\/td><td>SOIC-8E<\/td><td>3A 28V buck, 1.5MHz, smaller, MP brand<\/td><\/tr><\/table>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5589"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6173,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5589\/revisions\/6173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5589"},{"taxonomy":"chip_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chip_brand?post=5589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
